TriangulationTraits_2

Definition

The concept TriangulationTraits_2 describes the set of requirements to be fulfilled by any class used to instantiate the first template parameter of the class Triangulation_2<Traits,Tds>. This concept provides the types of the geometric primitives used in the triangulation and some function object types for the required predicates on those primitives.

Types

TriangulationTraits_2::Point_2
	The point type.
TriangulationTraits_2::Segment_2
	The segment type.
TriangulationTraits_2::Triangle_2
	The triangle type.

TriangulationTraits_2::Construct_segment_2
	A constructor object for Segment_2. Provides : Segment_2 operator()(Point_2 p,Point_2 q), which constructs a segment from two points.
TriangulationTraits_2::Construct_triangle_2
	A constructor object for Triangle_2. Provides : Triangle_2 operator()(Point_2 p,Point_2 q,Point_2 r ), which constructs a triangle from three points.

TriangulationTraits_2::Compare_x_2
	Predicate object. Provides the operator : Comparison_result operator()(Point p, Point q) which returns SMALLER, EQUAL or LARGER accordingto the x-ordering of points p and q.
TriangulationTraits_2::Compare_y_2
	Predicate object. Provides the operator : Comparison_result operator()(Point p, Point q) which returns (SMALLER, EQUAL or LARGER) according to the y-ordering of points p and q.
TriangulationTraits_2::Orientation_2
	Predicate object. Provides the operator : Orientation operator()(Point p, Point q, Point r) which returns LEFT_TURN, RIGHT_TURN or COLLINEAR depending on r being, with respect to the oriented line pq, on the left side , on the right side or on the line.
TriangulationTraits_2::Side_of_oriented_circle_2
	Predicate object. Must provide the operator Oriented_side operator()(Point p, Point q, Point r, Point s) which takes four points p, q, r, s as arguments and returns ON_POSITIVE_SIDE, ON_NEGATIVE_SIDE or, ON_ORIENTED_BOUNDARY according to the position of points s with respect to the oriented circle through through p,q and r. This type is required only if the function side_of_oriented_circle(Face_handle f, Point p) is called.
TriangulationTraits_2::Construct_circumcenter_2
	Constructor object. Provides the operator : Point operator()(Point p, Point q, Point r) which returns the circumcenter of the three points p, q anf r. This type is required only if the function Point circumcenter(Face_handle f)is called.

Creation

Only a default constructor, copy constructor and an assignement operator are required. Note that further constructors can be provided.

TriangulationTraits_2 traits;
	default constructor.
TriangulationTraits_2 traits ( gtr);
	Copy constructor

TriangulationTraits_2
traits = gtr Assignment operator.

Predicate functions

The following functions give access to the predicate and constructor objects.

Construct_segment_2
	traits.construct_segment_2_object ()
Construct_triangle_2
	traits.construct_triangle_2_object ()
Comparison_x_2	traits.compare_x_2_object ()
Comparison_y_2	traits.compare_y_2_object ()
Orientation_2	traits.orientation_2_object ()
Side_of_oriented_circle_2
	traits.side_of_oriented_circle_2_object ()
		Required only if side_of_oriented_circle is called called.
Construct_circumcenter_2
	traits.construct_circumcenter_2_object ()
		Required only if circumcenter is called.
